Hi! I am Arushika

Rehab Psychologist (RCI reg.)

I am a psychologist, therapist, mental health advocate, and the founder of Meet Your Therapist. My journey into mental health care is deeply personal. Watching my mother silently battle emotional pain—misdiagnosed and misunderstood for years—became a turning point in my life. Her healing truly began only when a compassionate psychiatrist saw and understood her. That experience ignited a purpose within me—to ensure that no one ever feels unseen or unheard in their struggle.

I hold a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Psychology, along with an RCI-recognized Postgraduate Diploma in Rehabilitation Psychology. Over the years, I have worked extensively with children, adolescents, adults, and families, supporting them through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges.

My academic journey has been enriched with research and recognition. I presented my research on the post-diagnostic experiences of mothers of children with intellectual disabilities at IIT Kharagpur for the NAOP Conference, where my paper was selected for presentation. I was also honored with the Best Dissertation Award at my university. Additionally, my second research paper on life satisfaction was presented at the 2nd National Conference at Amity University.

Alongside my academic and clinical work, I have gained valuable experience through internships and professional roles at prestigious organizations such as Moolchand Medcity, Delhi; Pushpanjali Crosslay Hospital, Delhi;Little Leap, gurgaon and Brainwonders, Mumbai.

My approach to therapy is integrative and client-centered. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Relaxation Techniques, and Behavioural Interventions, tailoring each session to meet the unique needs of the individual.

With over 4+ years of experience, I continue to advocate for accessible and inclusive mental health care.
